Hot dog! This means they owe money to Monsanto! Can’t plant GM seed, intentionally or otherwise, without handing cash over to them!

Hasn’t corn been genetically modified by Indians over the course of about 4000 years?

My degree is not in horticulture-but once crops were genetically modified on a mass scale-like they obviously are-did anyone really expect they would be able to stop the modified plants from spreading by pollination? These are plants-what are they going to do-fine the bees for going into a rival company’s field? Sue the beekeepers for allowing it?

I only eat stuff grown in my garden or another local one because it tastes better, I know where it came from and I don’t like the idea of chemically treated/engineered strains creeping into the food of those of us who choose to eat chemical-free plants, buy meat from grass fed livestock, and have eggs from free range chickens-but pollination control on a large scale seems impossible...

The herbicide-resistant wheat was found on one to three acres in Montana

Oh, really. Out of the millions and millions of acres of wheat grown in the US, they just happened upon these 1-3 acres of spotily planted GMO wheat. And just so happens Monsanto (evil, spit) has it's panties in a wad because they SUPPOSEDLY didn't authorize (aka get paid) the planting. Nope, not believing this isn't a set up by Monsanto.
